We just didn't enjoy this meal. I love supporting local businesses and was excited to try Jo's Shoe Shack because so many people love it. The service was excellent and the operators were patient and friendly. This just wasn't for us. Part of the issue is a result of the take-out aspect. Everything sits in a styrofoam container and steams until you get where you are going (we were six minutes to home). The bread/toast was soggy wet from the steam of the meat and fries. The fries were oddly sweet and also not krispy. The meat (we got chicken) has really good flavor as does the cheese sauce. But the sweetness of the fries and the totally wet bread just didn't work for us. The whole meal was one texture....soft/soggy. Maybe the other meat options are less wet and make a better shoe? We probably won't go back, but everyone should at least give it a try, because based on the reviews here, some people love it. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Thank you for giving us a try and for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the service, and we’re sorry the food didn’t meet your expectations. Take-out containers can sometimes affect texture, and we’re working on ways to improve this. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try, perhaps with a different option. We truly appreciate your support of local businesses!

Hi Greg, We’re truly sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your experience. We always aim to serve food that our customers love, and we’re surprised by your comments since our fries are seasoned with a sweet and salty blend that many guests compare to WingStop’s style — it’s a customer favorite! Our cheese sauce is also widely used and usually gets great feedback. That said, we understand that tastes can vary and we appreciate you giving us a try. If you'd be open to it, we’d love a second chance to make things right. Feel free to reach out directly so we can take care of you properly. Thank you for the feedback — we’re always working to improve!
